Learn Chinese Through Songs – #3: The Ordinary Road

The Ordinary Road（平凡之路 píng fán zhī lù) by Pu Shu (朴树)

This song is actually the theme from a movie. I heard it at a karaoke for the first time and it was a breath of fresh air from most of the Chinese pop songs you normally hear. With a slow, laid back beat, a folky feel and a bit of depth to the lyrics, it’s actually quite a good song to listen to, whether you’re learning Chinese or not. Needless to say, this song became one of my favourite Chinese songs.

I know the handwritten characters in the video above might be pretty difficult to read, but you’ll find the the Chinese characters, Pinyin and English translation below.
